Biometric Clinic for Cayman

The Governor's Office is pleased to make the following announcement on behalf of the United Kingdom Border Agency (UKBA) department.

The UKBA recognises the logistical challenges that face their customers in the Caribbean, in regards to the biometric capture part of the UK visa application process. To date, anyone wanting to apply from the Cayman Islands for a visa to the United Kingdom has had to attend an appointment at the Visa Application Centre in Kingston, Jamaica in order to have certain biometric data captured.

UKBA has, however been working to deliver solutions that provide cost effective biometric capability for their valued customers and on July 27th 2010, the UKBA will run the first monthly mobile biometric clinic in Grand Cayman. The clinic will be held in the lobby of The Smith Road Centre which is located on Smith Road in George Town. Customers, wishing to attend the clinic, will be required to apply online by visiting www.visa4uk.fco.gov.uk and then book a biometric clinic appointment by visiting www.visainfoservices.com.

The biometric clinic service fee is US$150 per applicant.

Please note that this relates to applicants applying for visas for the United Kingdom only and not the United States.
